It’s funny if you take Allen Iverson’s infamous practice quote and add in the words “ping pong” every chance you can.
We’re talking about ping pong practice man. We’re talking about ping pong practice. We’re talking about ping pong practice. We’re not talking about the ping pong game. We’re talking about ping pong practice. When you come to the ping pong arena, and you see me play ping pong, you’ve seen me play ping pong right, you’ve seen me give everything I’ve got, but we’re talking about ping pong practice right now.
“Iverson over Lue”
Stay down, Tyronn Lue. There’s nothing up here but us ruthless killers.
After coming off the bench and brilliantly defending a white hot Allen Iverson in Game 1 of the 2001 NBA Finals, AI peeled back and pulled up, as Lue fell down. What the Answer did next, is immortalized by Maciej Bernat.
Watch the play here. It’s enough to make you say, “Oh, Tyronn!”
Of course Lue played a hand in keeping Iverson at bay during the 5-game series, helping the Lakers win back-to-back championships, but unfortunately, this may be what he’s remembered for in the years to come.

I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride.
With sword and pistol by my side.
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade.
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade.
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five,
But I am still alive.
Old post, but now it’s official. Allen Iverson signs to play in Turkey.
I believe there are two acceptable camps in professional sports. Retire when you’re at the top, or play until the wheels fall off. Never in between.
Go get ‘em Bubba.
If you can dream it, Allen Iverson, you can achieve it.
Bubba Chuck. Besiktas ColaTurka. 2010.
This is, by far, the freshest basketball uniform ever. Ice cold, grey mesh with the pattern down the sides. Air Jordan 11’s (by the way, the list goes: 1.) Air Jordan I, 2.) Air Jordan IX, 3.) Air Jordan III).
Worst uniforms are Kentucky’s current uniforms. First off, the make DeMarcus Cousins look fat. They look uncomfortable. When I see them, I grab at the shirt I’m wearing. They’re tight, and appear to constrict movement. Everyone looks like they’re wearing them backwards. I want to scratch my armpits just looking at them.
Add to that a long history of terrible jerseys at UK, and the huge stage that they play on. Bad jerseys at the University of Toledo don’t make much of a splash. Ugly jerseys in Rupp Arena are seen every Saturday morning.
